Virtual Surround
• Settings: On , Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two
speakers.
Note
• 96 kHz linear PCM audio is automatically
downsampled to 48 kHz if Virtual Surround
is switched on.
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,
DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other
words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual
Surround has no effect on the audio from
the digital output. See Digital Audio Out
settings on page 38 for how to set up the
digital output formats.
• How good the surround effect is varies
with the disc.
Audio DRC
• Settings: ,
High Medium
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low
volume, it's easy to lose the quieter sounds
completely — including some of the dialog.
Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) to on can help by bringing up the
quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends
on the material you're listening to. If the
material doesn't have wide variations in
volume, you may not notice much change.
Note
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby
Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the
digital output when
On , and Dolby Digital Out
Digital > PCM (see Digital Audio Out
settings on page 38).
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on
your speakers and AV receiver settings.
Dialog
• Settings: High , Medium
The Dialog feature is designed to make the
dialog stand out from other background
sounds in the soundtracks.
